In May 2003 the Board of Governors of your Rosedale Civic Association
decided to institute the Annual Community Advocacy Award in honor of
the late John A DiMotta a resident of Rosedale for more than five decades
at the time of his passing, John was the resident historian of Rosedale’s
evolution from a farm community, to a retreat place with only Summer
homes, and later to the current all year residential suburban-like enclave
of today.
The Community Advocacy Award is named after John A. DiMotta, because like Kenneth Haslam who had convinced his fellow business associates to start the Rosedale Civic Association, John was totally dedicated to the continuous improvement of this community and the betterment of conditions for all the residents of Rosedale. John fought against racial prejudices, ethnic biases and all forms of injustice. He was an excellent public speaker, a good communicator, and he helped in the formation of useful partnerships and in building of important alliances.
Since the award is given by the Rosedale Civic Association, all of its officers and board members are automatically excluded. A review committee of five persons to include representatives of both clergy and business, and three members of the executive committee of the Board of Governors will make the final selection.
To nominate someone for consideration, your nominee for the John A.
Immortal Community Advocacy Award must meet following criteria:
Nominee must be a Rosedale resident and active in the
community;
Nominee is serving as positive role model for others;
Nominee will have spoken on issues important to Rosedale;
Nominee exhibits ability to work collaboratively with others toward
goals;
Nominee’s accomplishments must be documented, indicating his/her interest
or desire to work for a stronger and better Rosedale community;
Person making the nomination must be a member of the Rosedale Civic
Association.
To nominate someone for this award, please use the form below. Your name is required on the form so that the Review Committee can verify that the person making the nomination is a member of the Rosedale Civic Association.
